mrsswordfisherman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We just decided to take up lawn bowls. Swordie played some years ago and I am a rank beginner. Of course swordie turns out to be a champion bowler too. Oh well as I always say "if you can't be one dress like one" All jokes aside it is lots of fun!

big Neil Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hey Donna and Stewy. It's a very good game to play...easy on the body. Can be a bit tough mentally, if taken too seriously. Good onya both. HAVE FUN, BN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Lawn bowls is a bit like darts,people think it's boring.But to be good at both of them certainly requires skill.I play/ed both at competition level in my fairly short lifespan among other things.I got down to a 4 handicap at golf (self taught) and was good at tennis,ping pong etc which I would play all day at times when free. These days i don't have the time to scratch my backside really and wish I was playing them all still. I use to love(And still do) like family board game/card nights. That's a sport isn't it? Enjoy yourselves guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy yourselves guys. Interesting isnt it who plays! It is a good way to get some exercise - you walk up and down 42 times at least heh heh Fab I have always played games. Stewy and I also play online tournament cards - we used to be tournament directors in huge leagues. No money involved just fun cribbage, canasta and euchre. We often play cards with family around the table with nibblies and a drink or 2. We play all the Playstation, xbox, wii and any other damn thing we can get into. My daughter just visited home from UK and brought us games - Play That Tune where you have to use a kazoo hahaha and Speak Out. There is always the mandatory game/s on Christmas Day - the house always receives one. We love trivia too. In my younger days I was a popular girl with the guys because I could play cards etc. I won the best room in a share house once playing cutthroat euchre hahahah. I know lots of raiders like games. There is a thread somewhere in the bar with lots of convo. Oh by the way we have a darts board that gets played daily too Fab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly are the queen of games Donna.My favourite card game would probably be Canasta followed by Euchre.Christmas time is the same for us and I always have a good supply of Panadol for the day as we are a big, competitive,family which is known for giving the term noise new meaning.It would have to be a split decision if my 4 brother in-laws are the loudest or my wife and 4 sister In-laws.I think the girls take it by a whisker and regardless I end up with a massive headache and so do half the neighbourhood.lol.
